I remember chatting to someone after a match, and we got talking about Alex, and I'm sure he told me that he was in a boys team in Kinning Park.

I'd love to have followed the club back in the day, with him in midfield and Jock Wallace's first time as manager. Looking at old clips, it's incredible how many goals he scored in the big games.

Was considered top of the line back in the day, can get them for under £100k now. Changed days in the lives of footballers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was friends with Jim and when Johnny started in JB's pub I became friends with him as well. Used to have some great nights out with Johnny and both our wives. Good parties with the neighbours as well. Good player was Johnny and as you say, very under-rated. Very sad and premature end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
